captured the area in 1753 It was the gateway to Louisiana which was founded by the Lcmoync brothers of Montreal about 1700 The American colonists who were British subjects made several attempts to

Exotic oneman govern ments corrupt and massively inefficient Failure to educate feed and house native popu lations who were earlier we ploited by the old colonial pow ers and no place as badly as in the old Belgian ongo These have all been the fail ings of the new African nations presently deeply committed to the unseafing of the white racist government in Rhodesia which has managed never theless to create Workablc economy within Africa Zaires case is yet another in the long and sad history of countries who rely on the un predictable world price of their one major commodity In Zaires case it is copper which also is the mainstay commodity of Chile and Zambia In 1074 copper prices were on one of their periodic brief swings which meant revenues of close to $1 billion for Zaire that year But in 1973 revenues dropped to $000 million as world copper prices also slumped In the meantime itll Mobutu Scsc Scko Zaires strongman another egomaniac in power in black Africa was spending and

state from other emerging states twol10 super jets for Air Zaire were few of the recognizable playthings all African dictators buy for them selves More serious has been Zaires huge foreign borrowings made against the prospect always false that the basic commodity price Would remain stable Such borrowings in Zaires case include $250 million from Citibank of New York plus consortium of other banks for total of staggering $29 billion borrowed in the last few years Of course international banks and private ones also are to blame for placing countries like Zaire and other ones currently on the list Indonesia Peru and Egypt in hock with such heavy borrowings It is difficult admittedly for them to demand of these highly emotional Third World leaders that they restrain from ex ccssivc expenditures on baubles like palaces and airlines because this is always seen as an intrusion into mud trys national policies DOPEY LIF The fact is Third World coun tries like Zaire now are stum bling iiilo an uncertain fiscal future with the heavy debt loads they carry The only way they can pay them off is to sell their com modities in the rich industrial countries But they in turn often discriminate against these in terms of the price they will pay and the competitive nature of some of the same commodities in their own countries Since 1973 when world oil prices started to skyrocket new nations like Zaire were even harder hit by oil price in creases than fellow emerging countries with major oil resour ces In the Caribbean oilrich Venezuela worked out sub sidization deal for oil oor fellow nations in the arib wan to make sure they were not crippled by inability to pay the new oil prices IROIICR OlTLAYS An additional problem for Zaire is that some of the loans were indeed spent properly in modernizing and expanding copper mines Here again if the country had not been run by spend thrift dictator it still would have been in trouble when world copper prices slumped and the extra capacity had no markets for export Incredibly people believe rural life the good life VICTORIA tCPl Job pres sures got you The ulcer is twinging again and youre up to two packs day Time to pack it in and move the wife and kids to that coun try retreat youve been dreamA ing about Back to the land Peace and quiet Contentment If thats what youre after youd better stop looking down country roads Studies done by sociology professor at Univer sity of Victoria indicate youll be just as far ahead using the mountain greenery to decorate your penthouse Its incredible said Dr Stephen Webb People have simply accepted the folk belief that living in rural areas is good for you The results of extensive stud ies done in New Zealand by Dr Webb and Dr John Colette of University of Utah Salt Lake City say it just isnt so We were trying to demon strate that stress was greater in urban areas said Dr Webb Everything came out just the opposite They surveyed pharmacists throughout New Zealand They wanted to take look at the types and quantities of drugs bein used to treat stress as de fin by physicians and as evi denced written prescrip tions They found the usage of pre scribed moodmodifying drugs such as tranquillizcrs hypnot 711141133 UG The fruit of the righteous is tree of life and he that wiiinetli souls is wise Proverbs 1130 The greatest thing that we can do is to see

antacids antipsychotics and antidepressants was twice as high in rural areas as in highpopulation areas The more rural the area the more stressrelated disorders The denser the population the less the stress Until now most people in volvcd in environmental plan ning have been aacting on the assumption that urban den sities are bad for the human mental condition The United States has docu mented trend to rural living said Dr Webb dont know if similar trend has been docu mented in Canada but we usu ally follow the US lead so its probably going on right now PRESENT IAIER Drs Webb and Colette pre sented paper to the annual meeting Pacific Sociolo gical Association which said Evidence from national sur vey of pharmacists indicates that the longcherished dream of pastoral tranquillity may well be achieved only through extensive use of psychotropic agents In other words its really only nice out there in the coun try because everyone out there is doped up said Dr Webb There are welldocumented studies in the US that physical health is much poorer in rural areas Unemployment and pov erty are more widespread The suicide rate is higher Yet no one considered mental health said Dr Webb People in rural areas are un der the stress of isolation while at the same time having no privacy because everyone nows everyone City dwe lers must be partly responsible for perpetuating the myth of rural tranquillity Hundreds of thousands flock to the country each year for cam ping and taste of the great outdoors GOES BACK TO BIBLE Sure its great to be in the country for two weeks said Dr Webb But when you think about it how many people would want to live there all year round This antiurban bias has been going on for centuries In the Bible you find the good guys roamin theptains and living in tents ile the nasties lurk in city shadows Emerson and Thoreau were strong advocates of the pastoral life Thomas Jefferson saw cities as pestilential to the morals the health the liberties of man Now we have ecologists and environmentalists pushing de centralization and other devel opments at least partially re latedtotodays antiurban bias say Drs Webb and Colette In their paper they offer the theory that the rural and small town dweller is exposed to greater degree of change be cause he has access to the mass media as does the urban dweller Through the predominantly urban mass media ruralites may be exposed to lifestyle as pirations beyond their reach and their re alive deprivation may engender feelings of frus tration alienation and isola tion Its also possible that people looking to countr living as an escape dont conSIder what Drs Webb and Colette call the har sh reality of rural life discomfort isolation depend ence on the whims of nature the bare revelation of life and death the need for social inter course but the treachery of so cial pressure the unrelenting rhythm of hard work The sociologists have recen tly completed further studies which are being processed Dr Webb expects con firmation of what they already know Well probably find that its worse in rural areas than in ur ban populations he said Its definitely not better READER FORUM It is time to get serious about waste of electricity Dear Sir Despite the prominence given to the conservation of energy by the news media recently very few people seem to take it seriously It is time that we realized that with the increasing costs and diminishing reserves of all forms of energy we must con tinue to practice and promote the conservation theme For example we should check to see if our homes re quire additional insulation ad ed to the ceilings and whether additional caulking around the windows and door frames will eliminate drafts and help reduce our heating costs And what about hot water That convenience alone repre scnts about 30 per cent of the energy used in the home today The important thing is that there must be individual in itiative to conserve and the wise use of electricity should be goal for all of us We have been told that with our present rate of use increas ing at per cent per year in On tario we will be facing shor tages in 1980 If we can reduce this increase to per cent per year Ontario Hydros load forecasters be lieve that we can control the problem little thought towards eliminating wasteful usage of electrical energy will not only cost us less but assure us of continuing electical power service to which we are ac customed FROM PARLIAMENT HILL Greatest waste is govt answer By STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service guess anyone who is inter ested has already read what AuditorGeneral Machnell had to say about the outrageous sloppiness in government finan cial management But it didnt end there It seems to me that the greatest single waste of money is in the governments response to Mr Macdonells recommendations And what was that response To set up yet another royal commissionan enormously expensive undertaking that in the light of the auditor generals report will be largely redundant And it will ensure that no action will be taken on the governments financial management or mismanagement until 1978 Here we have an auditorgen eral whose opinions are highly respected both inside and out side government who recruited the best 50 chartered accoun tants he could find to study gov ernment finances For two years these unparalled experts dug into all government books examined the financial systems of every department and agen cy and decided overall management was grossly in adequate And the group didnt sto there The report contained all the recommendations which Mr Macdonell felt were necessary to correct the situation including the ap pointment of new comp trollergeneral of Canada The auditorgeneral even worked out the chain of com mand so that public servants would still be accountable to ministers and the comptroller general would report to the President of Treasury Board who right now happens to be Robert Andras The whole gist of Mr Macdo nells report was that the gov ernment has or is close to los ing effective control of the pub lic purse It made it clear there must be immediate action There was immediate action alright but not the type Mr Macdonell had in mind What Mr Andras did immediately was announce the appointment of fourman royal commis sion headed by Allen Thomas Lambert 65 chairman of the TorontoDominion Bank The commissioners will be expected to complete their studies by the end of 1977 and in the meantime they will each collect $250 day for their ef forts They should be able to make do on that as they decide whether the government is was ting money Mr Andras stoutly denied any suggestions that the gov ernment was merely stalling for time He said there are highly important questions about accountability to be an swered before Mr Macdonells recommendations could be im plemented It had to be decided for instance whether deputy ministers instead of ministers shouid be

dense or reject letter QUEENS PARK Ontario government has restraints By DON 0IIEARN Thomson News Service TORONTO Yesterday in talking Ontario Hydro rates it was noted that the government has had restraint program for the last couple of years The general public is prob ably not truly aware of this The government has tried to get the message across Most ministers mention it in their speeches and interviews and statements try to stress it But except at budget time it is not very newsy item and so gets relatively little attention in the media and the public which wouldnt care that much anywa tends to be not very in form about it THE BEST 80 let it be said that the Davis government does have restraint program and that probably it is the best in asmuch as it is the sternest of any government in Canada It certainly is better than Ot tawas One of the first goals of the Ontario program for example has been to cut back on the civil service It has been steadily doing this land the reduction last year was Berrys World 1976 by NEA tiic Not bad idea but will the public GO for tournament In which all of the participants have had sexchange operations Yours sincerely HAMILTON PEng First vice resident Ontario Municipal lectric Association Thumbs up Dear Sir As said to you at the show Up With People let me give you and The Examiner pat on the back and thumbs up for bringing to Barrie the Up With People show It was one of the most enter taining and happy group of young people to arrive in our community for some time Yours truly GEORGE TAYLOR financial administration and there was also the question of whether the proposed comp trollergeneral should report to Parliament Mr Macdonell who had dis cussed these points when he ap peared before Commons com mittee last year was obviously aware of differences of opinion and he made firm recom mendations relating to ac countability In fact most of his recommendations were firm In the circumstances you would think the government would attach royal commission status to the auditorgenerals report In fact very few royal commissions can recruit 50 out standing chartered accountants for any study An enormous amount of re search went into the report as the accountants revealed horror stories of waste and in efficiency And guess my fa vorite one this year is about the Canadian International Development Agency spending total of $828000 on fisheries training vessel which was rejected by Colombia for her instability and unsuitability And that wasnt bad one about the government renting property at $241000 year whi the previous tenant had rented it at $48000 Similar wastes are cited in every auditorgenerals report but this time Mr Macdonell proposed solution And if the government felt there were still unanswered questions why didnt it ask the auditorgeneral to produce supplementary re port But no all that research now is to be duplicated by royal commission only hope that when Mr Macdonell gets around to writ ing his 1977 report he will take good close look at the cost of this royal commission four per cent Ottawa also claims that its civil service complement is restraint target but last year it added 39000 more bodies for an increase of 18 per cent Again both governments are trying to hold down spending Ontario has managed to keep the growth down to bit better than 10 per centwhereas it used to be as high as 20 per cent or more Against this federal spending this year is increasing by 16 per cent As base comparison Ottawa spends roughly three times as much as Ontario while its bu reaucracy is five times as large THE EMPIRES Having got this across it should be said that pending revolt against the ways of gov ernment there probably never will be really effective econ omy program in an govem ment or not as of ective as there could be Basically responsible for this is that all governments today are an assemblage of minis terial empires Every ministry has its struc ture and its complement and the complements are jealously shielded and the guard is con stantly up that if one minis has something all others sh haveit too That is why we have the great roliferation of information ranches whereas one central organization would probably be inwtimably more efficient Or why there are probably more lawyers working for the gover nment than the entire bar of some of the smaller provinces So that restraints can only go so faressentially as far as the bureaucrats and the mainte nance of face will permit it CCCCUREI AT LAST folk remedy used in In diana in 1876 for stammering
